CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
[0001] This application claims priority to and the benefit of, and incorporates herein by reference in their entireties, U.S. Provisional Patent Application Nos. 62 / 004,738 and 62 / 094,923, filed May 29, 2014 and Dec. 19, 2014, respectively.FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0002] This invention relates generally to nanoparticle conjugates for delivery of therapeutic agents (e.g., targeted drug release) for the detection, prevention, and treatment of cancer and other diseases.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0003] Nanotherapeutic delivery vehicles are typically macro- or supra-molecular multicomponent systems, ranging in size from 1-1,000 nm, that are either inherently therapeutic (e.g., no active pharmaceutical ingredient) or function as therapeutic delivery systems. To date, liposomal nanoparticles and biologics comprise a large proportion of the number of FDA-approved products or products in clinical trials used to treat a variety of cancer types, while a number...
